Apollo 1 resulted in a lot of improvements regarding fire safety.

People drag the Soviets for being reckless with the lives of their crews, but forget that the USA melted three men in a training exercise.

at least those three were known, acknowledged and not covered in secrecy.

we really have no idea how many the sov's lost in their rush to stay ahead / catch up to the moon landings. truly, there's no way to fucking know, even the cosmonauts themselves never knew the total extent.

maybe they both deserve to be dragged a bit eh? pfft
